Subject: APPROVing a bounced message... headers wrong.

Hi,

I've had a number of messages bounced to me (the list owner) due to what
majordomo thinks are administration requests. I have piped these messages
through the approve scrip so that they can be forwarded to the list
members. However, these approved messages have their headers changed by
majordomo so that they now appear to be coming from me, not from the
original sender! Here's a copy of the headers of the approved message
(you will note too, that the message keeps its BOUNCED subject line):

  Hi all,
  
  I just got re-subscribed, and in catching up on msgs I noted some 
  reference to a reload list.
  Is there such a phenomenon?  I certainly would like to subscribe.
  Anyone got the address puhlease ???
  
  TIA

Why is this different in this release (1.94.3) compared to earlier
releases which kept the headers consistant with the orginal sender (ie.
made the approval transparent to the list members)?
